User interface themes
The interface theme defines the appearance of windows, dialogs, buttons, and all visual elements of the user interface. By default, DataGrip uses the Darcula theme in Classic UI and the Dark theme in New UI unless you changed it during the first run.
Change the UI theme
In the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , select Appearance & Behavior | Appearance.
Select the UI theme from the Theme list:
Dark: DataGrip default dark theme
Light: DataGrip default light theme
Light with Light Header: default light theme with a light header
High Contrast: theme designed for users with color vision deficiency
Darcula: alternative dark theme
Click Get More Themes to install a custom theme as a plugin from JetBrains Marketplace
Optionally, select a color scheme from the Editor color scheme list.
The default color scheme for the current theme is indicated in the list.
Select Sync with OS to let DataGrip detect the current system settings and use the default dark or light theme accordingly. If your OS is set up to auto-switch between day and night modes, the IDE will automatically toggle between light and dark themes too.
It is also possible to create your own UI themes for DataGrip and customize the built-in themes. For more information, refer to IntelliJ Platform SDK Documentation.
